Dell's XPS 700 desktop was launched in Europe last
week, and today we see that it's available in the United States. The
uniquely styled BTX case has a slightly forward leaning design, features
self-tending drive doors and LED lighting which allows you to choose seven
programmable colors (red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple).
Cooling duties are handled by two 120mm temperature-controlled fans and a
sealed short-travel thermal system.

Also launched today is the XPS M2010 "mobile" PC.
It's not quite a desktop and it's not quite a notebook. It's mobile enough that
you could easily pack it up and take it along with you, but heavy enough as to
make you think twice about doing so often. It also features a wireless keyboard
with an integrated touchpad -- nice touch, Dell.

The 20.1" XPS M2010 folds up and features an integrated
handle to make transport an easy affair -- that's if you consider its 18 pound weight to be a
non-issue. It's powered by your choice of a Core Duo T2400, T2500 or T2600
processor and supports up to 4GB of DDR2 memory. A 256MB ATI Mobility Radeon
X1800 graphics cards powers the 1680x1050 display while up to 240GB of storage
is supported (via RAID-0) and an 8x DVD burner is included. Other features
include four USB 2.0 ports, one Firewire port, an ExpressCard slot, DVI,
S-Video, S/PDIF digital and analog 7.1/5.1 audio out, integrated 1.3MP webcam,
eight integrated speakers and subwoofer and a 13-in-1 removable media reader.

For those of you brave enough to venture into new territory,
the XPS M2010 starts
at $4,000.

Quite expensive. With the same amount of money you can actually get a high-end laptop with similar specs (X1800 or 7900GTX) so it's a bit expensive, but then again. It's "hi-end" so it can cost a lot and the marginal crowd will be dumb enought to pay for it.

Actually for example Acer has a 20.1" notebook... Besides if you want portability and gaming power you can always get a 17" notebook with 7900GTX and a separate 20" TFT. It's even cheaper than buying a Dell and you get two decent monitors. But let's not forget that this is an enthusiast computer and far away from mainstream.
